CheckMate 9N9 Trial Summary

This trial is looking at a new combination treatment for people with colon or rectal cancer that has spread and who have already been treated.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with Stage IV colorectal cancer that has spread and was previously treated. They must have measurable disease, be in good physical condition (ECOG 0-1), and not have certain genetic mutations (BRAF V600). People can't join if they've had brain metastases, need systemic steroids or immunosuppressants, are allergic to the drugs being tested, or have used checkpoint inhibitors/MEK inhibitors before.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests nivolumab combined with trametinib, with some participants also receiving ipilimumab. It aims to see how well these drugs work together in treating colorectal cancer that's spread after previous treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned to different drug combinations.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune-related reactions affecting organs like the lungs (pneumonitis), skin issues, fatigue, digestive problems such as diarrhea or colitis, liver inflammation (hepatitis), hormonal gland issues like thyroid disorders and adrenal insufficiency.
